然而勃朗特一家的情形表明，天资被赋予了一个家庭。因为天资，这个家庭的成员远离尘世;离开了家他们就得不到快乐。而在家中，作为一个家庭，他们的天资却得以成长。是谁教会他们写作的?是他们自己!而且几乎没有人比他们写得更出色。
这本书不是他们写的，而是关于他们的故事。这是他们的父亲未曾写却应该写下的：一个关于他们家庭的故事，虽然他只拥有了那么短时间的家庭。
作者简介：这本书的作者蒂姆·维克瑞从事英语教学工作多年，现在约克郡生活和工作。

At first everything went well.Monsieur Héger wrote to me often.He was pleased with my daughters，he said;they were good pupils.But life at home in Haworth was hard.My curate died， and Aunt Branwell became very ill. Emily and Charlotte came home to see her， but she was dead before they arrived.

伊丽莎白·布兰韦尔是个好女人，她管理我们家二十多年，她尽自己所知教育我的女儿们。但我肯定她从未喜欢过霍沃斯。她说这地方又寒冷又悲惨。我希望上帝现在为她准备了一个温暖而舒适的地方。

She was a good woman，Elizabeth Branwell.She kept my home for more than twenty years， and she taught my daughters everything she knew. But she never liked Haworth， I am sure of that.She said it was a cold，miserable place.I hope that God has found somewhere warm and comfortable for her now.

但是没有她我还怎么过日子?我的视力现在糟糕透顶，已经无法看书了。而我们的老用人泰比比我岁数还大。安妮也帮不上忙——她是罗宾逊家的家庭教师，现在布兰韦尔也在那儿教他们的小儿子。所以夏洛蒂只好一个人回布鲁塞尔，这回她成了埃热先生学校的老师。爱米丽留在家里为我们做饭和打扫房子。她说她不喜欢布鲁塞尔。她喜欢做家务，喜欢和泰比及我一起在家里生活。

But how could I live without her?My eyes were now very bad，and I could not see to read.And our servant Tabby was older than I was.Anne could not help me—she was a gov-erness for the Robinson family，and now Branwell had a job there too，teaching their young son.So Charlotte went back to Brussels alone，this time as a teacher in Monsieur Héger’s school.Emily stayed at home to cook and clean for me.She did not like Brussels，she said.She was happy to do the housework，and live at home with Tabby and me.

爱米丽是个奇怪而安静的姑娘。儿女中数她个子最高，某些方面她像个男人一样坚强。她喜欢独自在荒野中漫步，“管家”总跟在她旁边跑着，有时我看见她在那里轻轻地给自己唱歌、说话。我觉得她能看见神秘的哥恩达尔世界中的人物，并和他们交谈。我知道她花了大量的时间在房间里一个人写作。当安妮回家时，她俩经常一起写哥恩达尔世界的故事。

She was a strange，quiet girl，Emily.She was the tallest of the girls，and in some ways she was as strong as a man.She loved to walk by herself on the wild lonely moors， with her dog Keeper running by her side.Sometimes I saw her there，singing or talking quietly to herself，and I thought perhaps she could see the people in her secret world of Gondal，and was talking to them.I know that she spent a lot of time writing alone in her room;and when Anne was at home，she and Emily often talked and wrote about the world of Gondal together.

有时霍沃斯附近会出现一些危险人物，所以我家中常备着枪。在我视力变坏以前，我曾教爱米丽射击——她也喜欢射击。有时我在花园里练枪法，她在厨房做面包，我先打，然后叫爱米丽，她出来擦干净手，拿起枪，扣一下扳机，然后又回厨房接着做面包。她打得可比我好多了。

There were sometimes dangerous people near Haworth， so I always had a gun in the house.Before my eyes were bad，I taught Emily to shoot—she loved that.Sometimes I used to practise shooting in the garden while she was making bread in the kitchen.I shot first，then I called Emily.She came out， cleaned her hands， picked up the gun， shot， and went back in to finish the bread.She was much better at shooting than I was.

夏洛蒂在布鲁塞尔又呆了一年。再回家时她变得沉默、忧伤。有时她用法语给埃热先生写长长的信，但没有收到回信。不过这段时间也充满着希望，女儿们为她们的新学校写广告，寄给报社，寄给她们认识的所有人。真令人兴奋——那些出色的广告，我们期待着第一批学生的到来。

信是罗宾逊先生写的。他时常生病，安妮说。可他的孩子们知道布兰韦尔和他们母亲的事情。我猜想连用人可能也知道了。也许罗宾逊先生从他俩那儿看出了什么，或许那个女人(我无法称她为一个妻子)已经告诉了他一切。只有一件事是肯定的——在信中罗宾逊先生命令布兰韦尔永远不得踏进他的家门，也不能再与他的家人讲话。

The letter was from Mr Robinson.He was often ill，Anne told us，but his children knew about Branwell and their mother，and the servants knew too，I think.Perhaps Mr Robin-son had learnt something from them，or perhaps that woman(I cannot call her a wife) had told him everything.Only one thing was certain—in his letter Mr Robinson had ordered Branwell never to return to his house or to speak to any of his family again.
